AI and the future of Work - The AI Collective
The perfect follow up to our Claude series. Every conversation about AI and jobs ends up in the same place: a number, a percentage, a prediction. Almost none of them ask the older question underneath.
Not "will I have a job," but "what was the job for?"
On August 12 we are putting groups of people in the same room who almost never talk honestly to each other: people who are hiring right now, people who are looking right now and people who are curious and want to contribute to the conversation.
The night
Leading the evening is Lucas Cecilio, speaker, writer, and vocational architect. Lucas writes at the intersection of the theology of work and vocational formation, has been published by ABC News, and is building an AI platform that helps high schoolers find a direction before the world assigns them one. He is not going to tell you which skills to learn. He is going to ask you a harder question.
After he speaks, the rest of the night is open. Drinks, snacks and a room full of people hiring and people looking, talking to each other.
You should come if
You are hiring and cannot articulate what you are hiring for anymore
You are looking and tired of being told to reskill
You lead people whose work is changing under them
You just want the question taken seriously for one evening
No technical background needed!
